Research, including our own, continues to show that traditional approaches to reward can be ineffective and often simply reflect ‘custom and practice’ and the ongoing desire of many organisations to ‘do what everyone else is doing’…..

I'd like to start though by offering some observations on the reasons why reward plan design may not always translate into practice.

The function and nature of executive and employee reward continues to be the subject of much debate. Unless fortunate enough to have found our one true calling or to be financially independent, most of us do not have the liberty to present for work without asking for a reasonable salary in return.
